r u Nigerian? Or African? your name is suspicious. It is not an authentic name. U r probably an imposter. A Real Somali will spell his name as "Abdirahman" not "Abdel" so what r u? Abuja? or a white man impost -ring? lol

I am surprised Kenya and Ethiopia have the same GDP?? Shocking! I mean, both countries should be offended they are the same. Ethiopia for its large geography land, or Kenya for its peaceful -educated, high tourism economy.


Nigeria # 1 sounds typical high population with oil revenue.

Egypt # 2 is surprising--they have nothing going on except tourism.

South Africa should be # 1 but sadly an adoon runs it--so their diamonds and large economy is pathetic due to the adoon head leader.

Are those GDP figures based on Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) or real GDP per capita? Damn, South Africa went down and Ethiopia has made a huge progress.

Anyways, GDP figures for developing counries aren't wholly reliable for as informal economy stats are not included in GDP figures. In some developing countries, the informal sector is worth nearly half that of the formal economy.

ghana figure is suspiciously low, in most other sources
both ppp and gdp percapita ghana was higher than nigeria.
